More painting

A while back I posted a photo of a painting that Janet did of my boys. Janet is the grandmother of Hailey and has a great blog that you should check out when you get a chance.

Well, I decided that I'm going to get Janet to do a few more paintings of the boys for Christmas gifts. This one is from a photo I took of them this summer when we went to Ontario to visit my husband's parents. This beach is just minutes from their house. And this painting will be their gift.

Janet always puts a small CP awareness ribbon in all her paintings now in honour of Hailey. In the first painting she did, she put the ribbon over Ben's heart. In this one, it's over Daniel's heart...because "she's sure that Daniel's love for his brother is great". And that made me cry.

Motherhood is about raising and celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that he is exactly the person he is supposed to be. And that, if you're lucky, he just might be the teacher who turns you into the person you are supposed to be. ~The Water Giver

About Me

I'm a Part-Time Work-at-Home Mom to my twin boys, Daniel and Benjamin. They were born in September 2007 at just 30 weeks and 2 days (that's almost 10 weeks early). After 8 weeks and 1 day, we were finally able to bring them home from the hospital. A week after their first birthday, my sweet boy Ben was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. This blog is mostly about Ben's accomplishments and challenges but is also about me, my family and anything I feel like sharing. Email me at aboutthesmallstuff at hotmail dot com
